Our classroom has been extra chatty this week. Today we had a circle meeting to address the reason we need quiet working times, and the difference between inside and outside voices. We each made a promise about how we will make our classroom a better place tomorrow. Ask your child what thought they contributed during our circle today.
In math today we talked about strategies for adding 2, 3, and 4-digit numbers. We will be practicing showing our strategies for the next couple of days.
In LA, we wrote a story based on a picture. We started by brainstorming ideas about what could be happening before, during, and after the picture, and then students were asked to write a full story on their own. We will be looking at story writing rubrics later this week (or next), and will see where we think our stories fit.
In Social Studies, we went on a photo tour of the different regions of Alberta, and talked about what landforms, vegetation, climate, and "natural" mean.
In Science, we watched a video about the properties of light, and then identified sources of light that we have encountered. We then sorted these into natural and artificial sources of light.
